If it makes any difference to you, my definition of “nonconformist” was someone who exhibits some social courage. For example, someone who decides to leave college to pursue plans of his own. Many people don’t stand up for themselves even a little. Or acknowledge to themselves that they don’t desire what other people expect for them. I have a hard time with this myself, which is why I don’t take this ability for granted. That’s all I meant by “nonconformist.” Don’t take the terminology too seriously
